There are a lot of street lights on this picture. Is it from Belgium?

Does the wheel manufacturer have something to do with this? (a promotion vehicle?)

I'm at home tomorrow to give you any accurate information, but as far as I remember it's not related
to any supplier or promotion purpose. It's obviuosely only the dream come true of a mad mechanic.

Not Mellberg, (afaik)
On this I have to look at my home archive, as I can't remember its builder, so I'll reply at the next WE.

The taken pictures are made by a man called Magnus, but he's not the builder/designer of this monstrosity.

Is it Mercedes underbeath?
No, not a Mercedes, but another German car...

This is a heavily customized Golf and if I got the story right it is the result of a contest by a magazine, Bilsport
